GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

It seems to be correct, but I'm doing a bit more testing to confirm.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes enable speculative decoding to work with KV cache connectors by removing a blocking condition and adjusting token scheduling logic to account for draft tokens. The KV connector can now be used when spec_config is present, and scheduling computation is updated to include draft token length.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Speculative Decoding & KV Connector Support
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache_connector.py
Import added for get_draft_token_length. Token scheduling computation updated to include draft token length (1 + get_draft_token_length(req)) for non-context-init/disagg-generation states, adjusting Specdec scheduling.
Speculative Decoding Configuration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor_creator.py
Removed NotImplementedError block that prevented KV connector usage when spec_config is present, allowing drafting loop wrapper construction to proceed with speculative decoding enabled.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description check ⚠️ Warning The PR description is entirely the template with no actual implementation details, design rationale, test information, or explanation of the changes provided by the author. Provide a substantive description explaining what KV Connector Support for MTP is, why it was needed, how the changes enable it, and what tests validate the implementation.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly summarizes the main change: enabling KV Connector support for MTP (Multi-Token Prediction), which aligns with the code changes removing speculative decoding restrictions and adjusting token scheduling.

✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom pre-merge checks in the settings.

314-315: Remove or update the misleading comment.

The inline comment states "Specdec with draft tokens is not supported yet," but this code change is explicitly adding support for draft tokens in the scheduling calculation. The comment appears to be stale or contradictory.

If there are remaining limitations, consider updating the comment to describe what specifically is not yet supported. Otherwise, remove the comment.

Proposed fix
-            num_scheduled_tokens = 1 + get_draft_token_length(
-                req)  # Specdec with draft tokens is not supported yet.
+            num_scheduled_tokens = 1 + get_draft_token_length(req)
